  Economy and culture in Amazigh milieus

  La revue Asinag ⴰⵙⵉⵏⴰⴳ reçoit les propositions d'articles sur le thème « Économie et culture en milieux amazighes ». La réflexion autour des modes de vie des Amazighes a donné lieu à un ensemble de travaux portant sur l’économie de ces communautés. La plupart ont signalé l’importance stratégique du contrôle et de la régulation de ressources, notamment l’eau et la terre. La transformation, tout au long du XX^e siècle, du régime de la propriété des ressources et sa réglementation par l’État-Nation, sans oublier les expériences de socialisation et/ou de privatisation des terres selon les pays d’Afrique du Nord, a bouleversé les pratiques des communautés amazighes en matière de gestion des ressources. L’objectif de ce dossier est d’approfondir la réflexion sur ces activités économiques dans les différents milieux amazighes afin de couvrir certains domaines qui n’ont pas été suffisamment explorés. Il s’agit donc de s’intéresser à la fois aux activités monétaires tels que le crédit ou encore l’évolution des prix ou des revenus, de production industrielle ou artisanale.

  Religion in Constitutions within a Global Context: Political, Legal and Cultural Dimensions

  Religions differ profoundly in terms of their impact on public life, the political breadth of their scriptures, and their foundational models. Islam, for example, is not a minimalist religion of just beliefs and rituals, rather, Islam encompasses all aspects of life in its philosophical, moral, and legal outlook. However, the issue of utilizing aspects of religion in constitutions is not exclusive to the Islamic world. Many, if not most, countries around the world have included religious texts, teachings, and obligations within their constitutions. Thus, it is necessary to deal with this issue within a global and comparative framework that encompasses its political, legal and cultural dimensions.

  The Public Sphere and the Politics of Space

  With the gradual rise of socio-economic and political challenges facing the Middle East and North African (MENA) and the Sub-Saharan regions, the “public space” and the “public sphere” have come to the forefront of scholarly debates and research by scholars in various fields of studies. The concept of the “public sphere” was conceived as part of the interplay of first a physical locale that imply constant social relationships in a concrete public domain (public space) and second the constellations of socio-economic factors contributing to the rise of political debates (public sphere). The aim of this conference is to probe social, economic, political problems via the theoretical lenses of the public sphere, the different aspects of spatial configurations, the politics of space, as well as the counter-public or parallel discursive arenas as conceived by Nancy Fraser.
